Re: [LI] PLS! LEAVE LINUX ALONE PC WORLD!! STICK TO WIN

["Nagendra, VU2CLN" <ewiz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That''s very true,

 The PC-WORLD CD completely ruined my entire weekend trying to install, on 
Sataday night I even went to the Corel and downloaded the correct Floopy 
Image and made a bootdisk out of it, then It booted with a great animated 
and colorful screen from the floppy saying Corel Linux Installation, but 
freezed at Accessing Corel Linux CD-ROM, After Huge Frustration from the 
PCW CD, I started to *download* the PCW ISO Corel Linux Image which is 
still going now from Sunday morning(260Mb total,80%, but on a shared/slow 
leased line)

This make me absolutely mad. we should be compensated for such a high level 
mess-up on the CD because the entire CD was messed up, might be any 
possibility for collectively asking/petitioning for a Refund and 
compensation from PCQ from all the frustrated PCW users in Linux-India 
would be better Idea, so how many had the same fate ?, let get together.....
